Thrown Overboard: How Trump Treats the People Who Serve Him

About this episode

The episode discusses the crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and various political issues related to Trump's actions and responses.

Full crew, no guests this week. We break down the crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln — the longest carrier deployment in American history, sailors jumping overboard, and Trump's response that they "haven't been gone long enough." Then it's the rest of the flailing: floating the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to bomb Oman, and demanding aircraft carriers be redesigned to look like they did in WWII. Plus the Turkey decoy plane fiasco that may have pushed Karoline Leavitt out the door, MAGA voters still finding out at the deportation office, and Mamdani's New York quietly racking up wins. We close on some actual good news: the DNC's new primary calendar puts South Carolina first — and we game out what that means for Newsom, Harris, and a certain Georgia senator who swears he's not running.   Learn more about your ad choices.
